The Rich Shall Inherit the Earth: Tax Exemption Twist in Biblical Satire
THE RICH SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH by John Darkow, politicalcartoons.com
John Darkow's cartoon features a Jesus-like figure proclaiming, 'Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth,' only to be chased by a suited man holding a 'Big Beautiful Bill' and demanding the first $15 million be exempt from inheritance tax.
